If you say that you have sent a file or "attached" a document but you forget to, Gmail will handily remind you. Just don't forget to tell them that you've attached a document, or it might not remind you.

'Hidden' tasks list

If you need reminding to do something, you have a notepad at your disposal right from your inbox. Simply head to the "Gmail" pull-down list, and select "Tasks." Up in the bottom-right hand corner, a small pad appears where you can jot own notes and even email them to others.

You can even create multiple "+name" addresses so that you can filter and label emails to become a real Gmail power user. Head to the search bar in Gmail, and from there you can search for various emails and create filters that label various emails with certain tags when they come in for easy reading later on.
